Chapter Thirty-Fifth: Hunting and Killing the Shu King Jinchang Arena
It was mentioned in the book last time that everyone was puzzled by the fact that the enemy bandits no longer interfered with the night drum, so why did they still knock it at night? Dugu got his wish but insisted on knocking it, but tonight he did not shout "Capture Liuhan Baling alive"
Instead, he shouted "Wei Jun is coming! Wei Jun is coming!" Seeing that he had changed his slogan, Yu Wentai felt fresh again. As expected, the war drums beat at night, and all the soldiers on the city shouted: "Wei Jun is coming! Wei Jun is coming!"
Sure enough, the thieves came out of the sleeping tent again, and they all shouted: "Where are they, where are they?" Wei Kegu was so angry that he cursed: "They will disturb my dreams every night!" Feng Guangteng listened to the drums for two nights.
He whispered to Jin Shenli, the second master: "The revenge of the first master will be avenged soon. Tomorrow we will let the brothers have a good rest, and we will have a big fight at night." Jin Shenli's mind was very simple. He simply didn't know why Feng Guangteng
Even though he could say such words, he still believed in the words of Military Master Miaobi and conveyed his meaning to the heroes on the mountain.
Yuwentai saw the enemy soldiers on the top of the city and fell into the trap again, and he and He Batayue were overjoyed. Dugu looked at the enemy soldiers under the city as he wished, and he smiled faintly. He hated them now because he had a home that he could not return to and lost his life.
He lost his home, causing his parents and wife to stay away from home. Delamo fell asleep leaning against the city wall. Dugu took off his cloak and covered him as he wished, without waking him up and went back to his tent to rest. However, he let the soldiers continue
Knock, keep shouting! Anyone with a mute voice tomorrow will be rewarded heavily
The next night, Dugu Ruyuan repeated his old tricks, but the thieves ignored him at all. He watched on the tower for a while, and then went to the east city gate to learn about the situation there. What he said was the same. Dugu Ruyuan was overjoyed and made an appointment with everyone.
When he arrived at the Commander's Mansion, Yang Jun saw that all the generals had come to the manor and didn't know what they were doing. When asked about it, everyone said that Dugu Lang had sent someone to make an appointment. Yang Jun saw the smile that could not be hidden on Dugu Ruyi's face and thought about it for a while.
He asked: "General Dugu has a clever plan to defeat the enemy!" "Commander, you are really incredible. I asked the generals to come here just for one thing." "What is it?" "Sneak attack." When the generals heard that it was for such a thing,
Everyone was making fun of him. Dugu Ruyuan cleared his throat and said, "All the generals thought that beating the night drum with the leg of mutton was just to disturb the enemy. In fact, everyone only knows one but not the other!"
Yu Wenhu said: "I'd like to hear the details." As he wished, Dugu saw everyone stretching their necks to listen to him and said, "The first is to beat the drums at night to disturb the bandits. This can make the enemy sleepless at night.
To dampen their spirit, tonight's sneak attack is the second one. The enemy has already adapted to listening to us beating drums every night. If we suddenly send out surprise troops, we can definitely defeat the thieves. Even if we can't win a complete victory, it will be enough for our army.
It's easy to add more rations!" Yang Jun heard what he meant and secretly shouted: Miao Miao Miao! He drew his sword and said: "I have given up my will, but I can act according to General Dugu's plan tonight. If you don't follow it tonight,
Commander, there is a case like this for those who retreated from the battle!" After raising his sword and slashing the corner of the case, who among the generals dared to doubt, Yang Jun handed the sword to Dugu Ruyuan and asked him to arrange it, Dugu Ruyuan took the sword
, the general ordered all the generals to gather together their troops and horses, and they could rush into the enemy camp as soon as the order was given.
As he wished, Dugu went to the top of the city to see the situation on both sides. He ordered the generals to lead their own troops, opened the east and west gates, divided into two groups, and rushed out. The drums were still beating loudly on the top of the city, and the soldiers were still shouting loudly:
"The Wei army is coming! The Wei army is coming!" The patrols in the camp on both sides discovered the situation and shouted: Get up quickly, the Wei army is coming. As a result, the thieves were all on alert! When they saw the Wei army entering the camp, they dragged them up.
Zhang San fell and Li Si fell. They were too sleepy these days. They had long been unable to distinguish between the shouts of the patrols and the shouts on the city. They were too sleepy and still thought that Wei Jun would disturb their dreams again!
This time, the Wei army showed off their skills outside the east gate, repulsed the rebels, and quickly surrounded the Chinese army's tent.
Only two generals, Wei Kehu and Jin Shenli, were left with the thief king Wei Kegu. Everyone surrounded them. Seeing the urgency of the matter, Feng Guangteng said: "General Wei, please protect the king and break out of the encirclement quickly. Don't worry about me."
After that, he took Wei Ke's sword and wiped it on his neck, and fell to the ground. Seeing Feng Guangteng's death so heroic, Wei Ke shouted: "Sir, no!" But Feng Guangteng lay on the ground motionless.
Seeing the guards in front of him fall down one by one, Gu had no choice but to break out with the two of them. As the saying goes, rabbits bite in a hurry. In order to survive, the weapons in their hands shone with a frightening cold light, and the Wei soldiers fell down!
When all the officers and soldiers of the Wei army saw that Wei Kegu was so brave, no one could avoid his sharp edge, and the encirclement gradually expanded. Just when Wei Kegu felt proud, and saw that there was hope of breaking through, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and a long knife had been broken.
With his belly out, Wei Kegu used the last bit of strength to turn around and saw that it was Jin Shenli who killed him. Wei Kehui saw that his brother had suffered an accident, and his tactics were chaotic. He was stabbed by He Bateyue's three-edged halberd.
The generals used their strength to kill him. When Wei Kegu saw that his brother was dead and he was seriously injured, he shouted: Why you? His face was full of doubts, his eyes were full of anger, and a voice came from the ground not far away,
"Your Majesty, let me tell you, just because you killed a soldier outside Wuchuan City, who was our leader, Wei Kegu saw Feng Guangteng come back from the dead, he vomited a mouthful of blood angrily, and said fiercely:
"You are so cruel, you borrowed my brother's sword! So you have such sinister intentions!"
He Bayue stopped talking to him, raised his knife and cut off Wei Kegu's head. Dugu sighed as he wished.
The results of the battle outside the west city gate were not so rich. Yang Jun and others rushed out and only killed a few camp guards. It turned out that Po Liuhan Baling could not sleep tonight. Fang Xu and others felt that the drums on the city were fraudulent.
, Jin Yan persuaded Liu Han to pull out the mausoleum and lead the army to set up another camp, so they escaped such a disaster. However, Fang Xu also led his troops to kill, and the thieves were unstoppable!
The soldiers following Yang Jun persuaded the commander to return to the city, but Yang Jun did not dare to fight for a long time and ordered his troops to withdraw. The Wei army was ordered to retreat to the east gate of the city. Gaoping King Hu Chen also led his troops to come to the rescue. Seeing the fierceness of the thieves, the Wei army quickly took Wei Ke.
The food and grass in the isolated camp were withdrawn to the city
The officers and soldiers of the Wei army returned to the city. Thinking about the satisfying killing just now, all the grievances they had felt during this period were gone. Everyone raised their thumbs behind Dugu Ruyuan, admiring his series of strategies! After breaking the Six Han Dynasty, Baling fell ill due to illness.
When they arrived, the Wei army had already withdrawn into the city and everyone reported the news of King Shu's death in the battle. Po Liuhan Baling was so sad that he felt as if he had lost an arm! His body was buried thickly and he vowed to take it back.
His head was buried with his body and he ordered all the battalions near the city to retreat ten miles to the stronghold! The siege of Huaishuo continued, and Helian'en was temporarily appointed as the volunteer soldier at the east gate.
Po Liuhan Baling attacked in retaliation several times, and the turmoil lasted for nearly half a month. Lonely Ruyi had no choice if it continued like this. One day, he wandered around the city, followed closely by Delamo. Dugu Ruyi thought about it for half a month.
During the war, he said to Delamo: "We have no intention of doing this here. You would like to follow me out of the city." Delamo was born on the grassland and grew up in the boundless desert. His heart was naturally at ease. He has been feeling like this all day long.
After being imprisoned, there was no reason why he was not happy when Du Gu Ruyi said this, and he said happily: "Yes, have you come up with a good idea?" Dugu Ruyi smiled but did not answer. The two passed by Shuai's mansion, and Dugu Ruyi met him.
Yang Jun, the general of the town, said: "Commander, although we have won the victory recently, the thieves who are watching at the end of the day have no intention of retreating, but they have the intention of trapping us for a long time. Seeing that if this goes on for a long time, we will definitely sit back and wait for death.
, why don't you, young general, go down to the city and sneak out, and you can write a letter. I can't go to see the King of Linhuai, but I can go to the capital to find Mr. Li, the minister, and ask him to contact other ministers to write a letter to the emperor, so that your majesty can issue an edict.
When King Huai marches, you lead the troops in the city to stand out, and you have other internal support, so that the enemy can be defeated!" Yang Jun said: "What the young marshal said is very true. I will write a letter right now. If you can help me, young marshal, come to Beijing. I would like to send a letter to Li Shangshu.
Mr. Chong Lao and others are loyal and patriotic, how can we ignore death? Don't worry, young marshal, my food and grass are enough for a year. I hope King Linhuai will send troops as soon as possible." Dugu resigned as he wished and Delek Mo prepared to go to the city in the evening.
Prepare
It’s not that King Linhuai didn’t want to send troops, it’s just that he only brought 20,000 troops to Shuozhou. Most of the defeated soldiers in Shuozhou City were those from Wuyuan and Baidao who had escaped with their lives. How could King Linhuai and the governor have the fighting spirit?
Zheng Junshou also came to the rescue several times to relieve Huaishuo's difficulties. However, the dangerous passage of Kundulungou was occupied by Hu Chen, King of Gaoping. It is said that one man can serve as a soldier and ten thousand men cannot open it. After several battles, not a single soldier could cross the ditch.
, An Jinquan was seriously injured as a result, and King Linhuai was helpless in the city. How did Huaishuo know about these trapped people? This is a foreign story.
Dugu came to the city as he wished, and he and Delamo passed the bandit camp at night. The two walked all the way through Shuozhou and Yanmen Pass, and arrived at Daixian Town where they bought two horses, plus they had food and accommodation. They didn't know how to be frugal.
The financial burdens on their bodies are gradually not enough. You think about the two of them, a young man, a general who grew up on the grassland, how can he know such trivial matters as firewood, rice, oil and salt?
Seeing that their money was getting less and less, and they didn't know when they would arrive in Luoyang, the two of them didn't dare to stay in an inn, so they just found a farmhouse to stay overnight, so they beat up Jinchang. Duguxin was very tired from running all day, and Dele Mo
When I first arrived in the Central Plains, I felt fresh about the local conditions and customs of the Central Plains. I recently learned the Central Plains language from Lonely Ruyi. In this big town, there are mask sellers, calligraphy and painting sellers, noodle sellers and so on. It’s all so overwhelming. When we arrived,
All he could think about in his residence were the lively scenes on the street, and he felt very itchy, so he wanted to ask Dugu Ruyuan to go out. Dugu Ruyuan thought that Huaishuo City was still in dire straits, so how could he have the leisure to do so? Seeing that Dugu Ruyuan was unwilling to go out.
, couldn't control his legs, and didn't lead the horse to the busy market. However, after arriving at the busy market, the buyers were closing their stalls. Delemer grabbed a peach seller and asked: "You were all here just now."
So, why did they run away as soon as I came?" "You look like a passer-by from a foreign country. We are not afraid of you, so how can we run away because of you?" The man buying peaches said, "Look at the corner ahead.
No, where are they setting up an arena to compete in martial arts to recruit a son-in-law? We are the richest family in the city, and I heard that our ancestors were still high officials. Who has the heart to sell these three melons and two dates, so we just packed up and watched the fun."
Break away and run towards the corner
Delermo muttered: "Contest to recruit a son-in-law." How could he, a grassland man, know the meaning of recruiting a son-in-law? The word "competition to recruit a son-in-law" was quite clear. Anyway, he came to watch the fun. Who cares, go and see and follow the others.
At the corner, after passing the corner, I saw a high-rise arena. The audience was crowded, and hundreds of people were crowded in front of the arena. Delemer squeezed to the front of the arena, looked up at the arena, and saw a red ribbon hanging high on the arena.
An old man was clasping his fists and saying: "I am honored to be honored by all the fellow villagers today. The so-called heroes don't care about their origins. As long as they are not criminals and have been in prison, and are not married yet, and are ambitious people, all can come up and show off their skills.
If you don’t give up, if you win, I will soon become your uncle, and I will also give you fifty taels of silver as a dowry!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a reckless young man jumping onto the ring. Delamo had only half understanding of what Wen Zouzou said just now, but he understood one sentence clearly. He had fifty taels of silver as a gift and what else was he thinking about, "Uncle"
Just as everyone in the audience burst into laughter, the reckless young man just now had already been thrown off the stage, and he got into the crowd in shame. At this moment, the crowd laughed even louder. When Delermo came to the stage again, it turned out that an old man of half a hundred years was standing on the stage.
The audience said: "I'm not ashamed. I'm almost fifty years old and I still come to fight. It's really incredible these days. I must have great kung fu to dare to fight in the ring." Thinking this in his mind, he saw that the ring leader just now looked down upon him.
With a smile: "You are not qualified to stand here, please don't disturb the situation again!" "Master Cui, what do you mean? Just now you said that as long as you have not committed any crime and have never been married, you can come on stage.
Both are good, so why can't we fight?" A group of scoundrels below heard what he said and said loudly: "Master Cui will not break his promise, fight him!" Master Cui on the stage glared at the scoundrels, who laughed and said: "
You set the rules yourself, what do you want us to do?" The audience also started cheering: "Hit me, don't stand still!" The rogue old man jumped up and stretched out his fist to hit!
If you want to know what happened next, I will tell you in the next chapter.
